NC.TTropical

Tropical timber is defined in the
International Tropical Timber Agreement (1994) as follows “Non-coniferous
tropical wood for industrial uses, which grows or is produced in the countries
situated between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. The term
covers logs, sawnwood, veneer sheets and plywood.Plywood which includes in some measure conifers of tropical
origin shall also be covered by the definition.”For the purposes of this questionnaire, tropical sawnwood, veneer
sheets and plywood shall also include products produced in non-tropical
countries from imported tropical roundwood.Please indicate if statistics provided under "tropical" in
this questionnaire may include species or products beyond the scope of this
definition.

Transactions

Removals

The volume of
all trees, living or dead, that are felled and removed from the forest, other
wooded land or other felling sites. It
includes natural losses that are recovered (i.e. harvested), removals
during the year of wood felled during an earlier period removals of non-stem
wood such as stumps and branches (where these are harvested) and removal of
trees killed or damaged by natural causes (i.e. natural losses), e.g. fire,
windblown, insects and diseases. It
excludes bark and other non-woody biomass and any wood that is not removed,
e.g. stumps, branches and tree tops (where these are not harvested) and felling
residues (harvesting waste). It is
reported in cubic metres solid volume underbark (i.e. excluding bark).
Where it is measured overbark (i.e. including bark), the volume has to be
adjusted downwards to convert to an underbark estimate.

Production

The
solid volume or weight of all production of the products specified below. It includes the production of products
that may immediately be consumed in the production of another product (e.g.
wood pulp, which may immediately be converted into paper as part of a
continuous process). It excludes the
production of veneer sheets that are used for plywood production within the
same country. It is reported in
cubic metres of solid volume in the case of roundwood, sawnwood and wood based
panels and metric tonnes in the case of charcoal, pulp and paper products.

Imports (Quantity, Value)

Products
imported for domestic consumption or processing shipped into a country. It includes imports for re-export. It excludes "In-transit"
shipments. It is reported in cubic
metres of solid volume or metric tonnes and values normally include cost,
insurance and freight (i.e. CIF).

Exports (Quantity, Value)

Products
of domestic origin or manufacture shipped out of the country. It includes re-exports. It excludes "in-transit"
shipments. It is reported in cubic
metres of solid volume or metric tonnes and values are normally recorded as
free-on-board (i.e. FOB).

Products

The
names of individual forest products and product aggregates are listed below in
the order in which they occur in the tables later on. Separate definitions are
not provided for coniferous (C) and non-coniferous (NC) components where the
general definition given above applies. Unless indicated otherwise, each forest
product category includes both coniferous and non-coniferous components.
